Wesley's Notes for 2 Samuel 17:22


17:20 Over the brook of water - That is, over Jordan. This was a manifest lie.

17:23 Hanged himself - See here contempt poured upon the wisdom of man! He that was more renowned for policy than ever any man was, played the fool with himself more than ever any man did. See likewise honour done to the justice of God! The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.

17:24 Passed - Not speedily, but when all the men of Israel were gathered together according to Hushai's counsel.
